Unused model.

The Phazite Armored Trooper was an unused creature in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It had armor made of Phazite that could only be damaged with the Plasma Beam. It may have evolved into the Commando Pirate. Notably, a logbook entry is present in the game's files, along with a model that seems to have been made by overlaying the Commando Pirate model onto a basic Pirate Trooper.
